Meal Prep Monday, A first for me.

The husband and I decided to refocus our goals.  We've often heard the term if you fail to prepare, prepare to fail.  And quite frankly we are tired of failing.  So today I ventured into the world of mega meal prep.
We figured it would be cheaper and easier to feed us through out the week. Today I prepared chicken breast, brown rice, veggie bags and yams. (our grocery store didn't have sweet potatoes and yams yield great benefits.)  It went smoothly and I think i've got this thing figured out.  Here was my list of first time must haves:

-Clean Dishes- as mediocre as that sounds, you dont wanna get in the kitchen expecting to cook but have no pans to do it with!

-Zip Lock Containers-  I went to the store and picked up three different sizes.  These are a must for on the go meals!

-Zip lock Baggies- Easiest way to pack quick healthy snacks.  This way you can prevent eating foods that weren't planned into your calories for the day.

Sorry ladies, I'm not too great in this area yet but i will get better as time goes on.

P.S.- Each container of chicken and brown rice yeilds nearly 50Grams of protein.  A great high protein lunch!
Nutritionists in the body building field recommend 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound you weigh!
